Geaux!

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 27 July 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

College football season is coming in about a month. My friends know I am an LSU Tiger football fan. Someone gave me this fella for my birthday in March. So I guess a guy's never too old for new toys and long-term loyalties.

Geaux Tigahs! [translation: Go Tigers!]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.

@Art Monkey: I'm smiling about that one.

ally! from Singapore, Singapore

i agree with art monkey, i thought it was real!

@ally!: Smiling twice. Is that a tribute to the makers of this toy tiger or to the photo? I'd say it's the toy tiger's makers who deserve the credit for realism here... :)

Dude...everyone's thinking it was real...me, too! B-)

@{H} creatives: This is my fun surprise today; I did not expect anyone here to mistake this toy tiger for being real -- although my cataract-ridden pet dog does act like she thinks it is alive sometimes, whenever she sees me and it moving around her.

RoBeRt from Hawk Mountain, United States

Vinay from Bangalore, India

Hmmm.. Not difficult to tell that it is stuffed toy... Look at the skin pretty closely.... Had expected this to be a real cub when I saw this as a thumbnail but was very much disappointed when I saw the real picture.... Now I am :')

I hope you understand my feelings... next time do upload a real tiger's cub's photograph...

27 Jul 2007 5:23pm

@Vinay: Ha-ha! Next time I see a real, live tiger cub laying around, I will definitely do that.
:-D

Very cute and cuddly.

27 Jul 2007 10:15pm

@Josh: I haven't been given a stuffed toy since I was a little kid and my granny gave me a stuffed doggie. While I agree, it is cute and cuddly, I do not however, sleep or cuddle with it. Heh... :-D
